John Travolta will return to TV for the first time since his days on “Welcome Back, Kotter” — as OJ lawyer Robert Shapiro.

Travolta has been cast as the “Dream Team” attorney in “The People v. OJ Simpson,” a 10-part FX miniseries about Simpson’s murder trial that begins production this spring in LA. It’s based on Jeffrey Toobin’s book, “The Run of His Life: The People v. OJ Simpson.”
